just installed two 12" subs and an amp myself a last weekend. I have a "entry level" setup since it was my very first time installing car audio. i will post pictures when i get home later
Last thing he worries about haha. Get at me if you need a sub John, I have one I need to get rid of.

If you're doing a show car then I say go for it. Like jonjon83 he has a monitor and speakers on his lid. BTW aren't you Emotion? Cause if you are then you're going to build sick cars anyways! haha

shhhhhhhh.... its just chilling :P don't worry about it


lol but yea i've been playing around and adjusting it. i bought the sub enclosure as is. so i don't want to drill into it and mount the amp on it. the amp doesn't move, its pretty heavy and doesn't have much room to move w/ the box there.

I saw this car in person.. I didn't want to bite that setup, so I was going to do 2 smaller monitors instead of that one big one. LOL.. I guess since the cat is out of the bag.. Yes I am part of Emotion, but this car is my daily, but once you've gotten the bug it never goes away!!! LOL!!!
